León Gieco

In 1969, the Epstein brothers founded a music house in the heart of downtown Buenos Aires. There they offered the best imported records and it soon became a sanctuary. Musicians like Claudio Gabis, Nito Mestre, Charly García, Andrés Calamaro, agree that it was the place of freedom and inspiration that they so needed. It was the time when the avant-garde of the Di Tella Institute was nourished by the incipient rock and art, causing an explosion in the middle of a society isolated and lethargic by the repressive state apparatus. El Agujerito tells the story of this iconic record store through archival material and testimonies.

Documentary about Argentina's last military dictatorship and the legacy of one of the most brutal waves of repression, death and horror in Latin American history. Numerous people—historians, musicians, journalists, children of the desaparecidos (the disappeared) and others—talk candidly about how difficult it has been to uncover information about the whereabouts of the 30,000 missing men and women who were kidnapped and presumed murdered by the military. The intensely personal stories about missing relatives and the scope of the military junta's repressive policies also explain why, even now, many people resist coming to terms with Argentina's bloody past.
